Weird and Wonderful Surrealist Art by David Ball

"David Ball has his own twisted approach to surrealism, an art genre that is known for its obscure forms and alienish landscapes. That David Ball’s art works are bizarre within his genre is testament to just how “out there” his work is". Ball’s surrealist paintings bridge the gap between traditional surrealism and pop surrealism while standing in a class of its own."

"His art style hovers on the fringe of surrealist art, marking the border between imagination and hallucination."

Microscopic Giant: The Parallel Universe of David Ball

"Looking at David Ball 's mixed-media paintings is analogous to staring at alien creatures that function as your reflection. They exist in a parallel universe where life is represented through Rorschach test-like brush strokes and layers of magazine clippings. When viewing Ball’s work in person, it’s easy to imagine these creatures having paper bag hearts that feverishly contract and inflate when they feel they are being watched. Trapped in a contextual narrative, they are frozen in motion".
